Renowned British promoter Eddie Hearn spoke about the second fight between Joshua and Usyk and shared his thoughts on whether anyone could defeat Usyk in potential trilogies with AJ and Fury.

Details: In an interview with iFL TV, Hearn revealed he was confident Joshua would defeat Usyk in their rematch. However, Oleksandr raised the pace and delivered a brilliant finish to the fight. As for potential trilogies, Hearn admitted that right now, Usyk would be the clear favorite in both.

Quote: "You're asking a very biased person. But honestly, I don’t know. Right now, Usyk has to be a huge favorite in both trilogies. In the first fight, we fell well behind on tempo, and in the second, we had a really good performance. After nine rounds, I thought we were going to do it, win that fight.

And then came, probably, the best championship-round performance I’ve ever seen. Usyk's performance against AJ in the 10th, 11th, and 12th rounds was incredible. I thought he was done, but somehow, he increased the intensity, landed so many punches on AJ when he was hurt and tired, and won the final three rounds to take the fight. So I’m not sure anyone can beat him," Hearn shared.

Reminder. On December 21, the highly anticipated rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury ended with a victory for the Ukrainian.

Immediately after the fight, Daniel Dubois challenged Usyk. The Ukrainian accepted the call-out for a bout to crown the undisputed heavyweight champion.
